Black and White

I've been wanting a Rules quilt of my own for a long time, but didn't want to do the same thing over and over. I decided I really loved the rhythm of the long narrow negative spaces that go vertical and horizontal in these letters.

So I just decided to go for it. Actually I made the letters with the white backgrounds first, but while sitting at my desk at work yesterday, I had a brainstorm, so when I got home I made the letters with the black backgrounds.I do have a plan for where each of these is going to go, and they won't be going to the same place.

I was wondering when you were going to make one for yourself.

A black background always makes letters pop!

Love those blocky letters esp with the black background. I love that they are each from different fabric.
